Happy Healthy Hair Masques

Happy Healthy Hair – Vitamins and Supplements
from Kala Kilshaw

Our hair and nails are the last place to receive the benefits of vitamins and we rarely eat as much of the good stuff as we need. As hair is 91% protein, in order to repair it from the inside out, a regular hair masque is the solution. Many masques available are moisture based so make the hair feel soft and smooth but don’t actually do any internal good. A simple homemade protein based masque is all you need.

These 2 examples are perfect for all hair types, they are a great blend of proteins and fatty acids exactly what we need for Happy Healthy Hair.

Directions of use:

★ Apply to freshly shampooed, towel dried hair (squeeze water from the hair don’t rub, this prevent roughing the cuticle and causing damage)

★ Cover with a plastic shower cap or bag and a warm towel if possible

★ Leave for 20 mins

★ Comb through gently with a wide tooth comb from end to roots so as not to stress and damage the hair

★ Give your scalp a lovely massage – see details of the benefits above

★ Rinse thoroughly


⚛ 20 mins is perfect timing for treatments and don’t sleep with them in as there are no extra benefits.

⚛ You can add a couple of drops of your favourite essential oil if you want a more fragrant indulgence.

⚛ Drying your hair thoroughly instead of leaving it damp and tying it up will prevent, fungus, scalp problems and breakage.
